This is mainly for Buddhists and Toaists, but members of any faith, including the faith of atheism, can certainly use it. Want to convey your convictions to somebody on their birthday in a spirit of kindness? Here's how. Simple, sobering.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Plastic Easter egg container.
Rice grains.
Tylenol (optional).
Paper
Printer or pen/pencil

Step 1

COUNTING: Carefully count out the number of years your birthday friend has lived, in rice grains. (It's not as easy as it sounds.) Pour them into the egg. Add an orange Tylenol tablet if you want to get them to think even harder. (Do you get it?) Seal carefully.
Step 2

Ideally, print out: "Count them carefully" in a small font. Place tape over paper, and seal to the "egg."
Step 3

Make sure the egg won't open, spilling the rice grains. This is crucial. Their patience will determine what they learn from your extremely inexpensive, but significant, gift.
